Patrons of the Barber Shon,

The worst thing man with tender
skin can do is to go from shop to shop and
get shaved by MS many different BARRIERS
a there are days in the week A barber
who is up to his work gets as well ac-
quainted with the faces of the men he
shaves as the engineer gets to know the
grades and curves of the road he runs
over. 1t takes one or two shaves to find
out the peculiarities of customers face,
and the man who drops into any shop he
may be passing suffers unlimited torture
in consequence. People who shave them
selves have generally been constrained
to do SO by the unintentional cruelty of
strange slaves of the tonsorial art For
tunately for the profession, they mostly
return to their old habits, for although at
least one man in five can shave himself,
not one man in twenty can strop razor
and keep it moderately sharp. Barber

Mr.. T. p. White, in communication
to the Chemical society, gives decidedly
negative answer to the question whether
the acids of canned fruits may not form
poisonous salts with the tin. He reports,
as the result of his experiment, that Tin
is entirely devoid Of danger when taken
internally in any form that might arise
from being in contact with fruits or
vegetables. He believes that the cases
of accidental poisoning attributed to tin
We're due to solder on other impurities
arsenic. copper or lead. Professor W.
Mattieu Williams says that there need be
no lead in the solder-that it is only put
in for cheapness' sake, and that tin
makes a superior solder to any alloy.
Therefore all danger may be obviated by
prohibiting the use Of any other solder
than pure tin. Popular Science Monthly.

The wives and daughters Of new CON
grossmcu and officers are frequently
thrown into society without any previous
preparation. From the quiet of coun-
try home there is a terrible transition.
There are ladies here in Washington
whose husbands have been army or navy
officers. They have spent years in So
ciety, and have held, and still hold, high
rank The mysteries of form and usage
are familiar To them. but the death or
retirement of their husbands has re-
duced their finances below the figures of
their extrayagant tastes. These ladies
now sustain their position in society by
leading the unnitiated through the mys-
terious mazes. They teach the wives of
new senators and members from the
back districts the polite forms, and pilot
them safely through a winter in Wash

The relation they hold to the novice is
that Of superior, who condescends to
take the part of friendly adviser or

and paid, They are women who have

1000 barrels this week, and the season is
only just opening said an old FISHERMAN

barrels to Liverpool and Glasgow, and ex-
pect to send more than that number this
year"
How are they packed?"
'In barrels. Each one contains from
1900 TO 1900 oysters, placed on edge and
packed solidly, SO that they cannot shift.
We export Blue Points, Sounds and Rock
Always mostly, They don't seem to have
any preference on the other side, but take
anything we choose to send them. 1t is
only ten years since the export oyster
trade began, and it has grown rapidly.
Our oysters pay no duties on the other
side, but have to compete with the native
English oysters and also those imported
from France"
Are the English as fond of oysters as
We are?"
BLESS you. no. AT least, they don't
eat them as we do. This city alone con-
sumes more oysters than England Scot
land and Ireland and nearly as many as
the whole Of Europe. The laboring
classes over there scarcely know the taste
of an oyster and the middle classes only
eat them on rare occasions, for they are
considered n luxury. The aristocratic
and wealthy classes are the only con-
sumers. New York Mail and Express.
